Please don't go this way. If someone builds Emacs with --without-x, they mean it, and we should honor their choice and not cause them any unnecessary grief. Also, --without-x could be a result of bad or missing X installation. For example, I cannot compile with X support on fencepost.gnu.org (didn't have time to investigate what package is not installed there). > Then we could use `(eq system-type 'ms-dos)', which > presumably works in loadup That's not a good idea, either: there's a DOS port of Xlib, which allows to build Emacs with X support (or at least did that in the past; I haven't checked that configuration for a very long time). Basically, checking the OS name shoudl be the very last resort, not the first one we try. Let's keep Emacs as clean of ugly OS-specific hacks as possible. > Unless somebody knows how to accurately test whether Emacs was > compiled --without-x in loadup.el. What's wrong with testing x-show-tip for being fboundp? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
